Flora Bay Residences

Flora Bay Residences is a furnished residential building by Centurion, currently under construction on Dubai Islands, offering one, two, and three-bedroom apartments priced from approximately AED 1.94 million to AED 4.58 million across 42 units.

# A single building on a coastline still taking shape

Dubai Islands sits north of Deira, a cluster of five artificial islands that the city is steadily converting into a mixed-use coastal district. The area is at an early stage of its development arc, which is precisely the condition that tends to attract buyers who have watched other Dubai waterfront addresses mature and appreciate. Flora Bay Residences occupies this district as a boutique proposition: one building, 42 apartments, no sprawling master community surrounding it.

The scale is deliberate. Where many Dubai projects compete on sheer volume, Flora Bay's 42-unit count means the building functions closer to a private address than a managed estate. Construction is underway, with completion not yet confirmed, so buyers are entering at a point when the surrounding district and the building itself are both still forming.

# Residences, layouts and the question of size

The apartment range runs from one-bedroom units to three-bedroom homes, with floor areas spanning roughly 735 sq ft at the entry point to just under 2,500 sq ft at the top of the two-bedroom range. That upper figure is notable: a two-bedroom apartment at 2,499 sq ft occupies a different category from a typical city flat, and its pricing at AED 4.575 million reflects that.

One-bedroom apartments cluster between 735 sq ft and 886 sq ft for most configurations, though several larger one-beds extend to 1,166 sq ft and one reaches 1,299 sq ft, suggesting generous terrace additions or dual-aspect layouts. Two-bedroom units are broadly sized from around 1,147 sq ft to 1,655 sq ft, with outliers at 1,881 sq ft and the aforementioned 2,499 sq ft. Three-bedroom apartments occupy the 2,010–2,061 sq ft bracket.

All residences are furnished. Service charges are set at AED 16 per sq ft.

The pricing across bedroom types does not follow a strictly linear pattern: some one-bedroom units at comparable sizes carry meaningfully different price points, which likely reflects floor position and view orientation rather than specification differences.

# Amenities across a compact footprint

For a 42-unit building, the amenity list at Flora Bay covers considerable ground. A pool, gym, garden area, BBQ area, terrace, kids' play area, games room, business centre, and a multi-purpose area are all confirmed. The business centre sits alongside the games room in the same building, which positions the project towards residents who work flexibly or remotely, as much as those purely seeking a leisure base.

The terrace and BBQ area together suggest outdoor communal space that complements the pool and garden provision. The absence of a spa or dedicated wellness suite is the clearest gap relative to larger island developments in the emirate, though the gym addresses the baseline.

# Dubai Islands: the district context

Dubai Islands connects to the mainland via Al Khail Road access and the Infinity Bridge corridor from Deira. The district is planned to incorporate hotels, retail, beach access, and marina infrastructure over time, though much of that remains under development. Buyers acquiring here are, to a degree, buying a thesis on what the district becomes as much as what it is today.

Deira itself, immediately to the south, has its own commercial density: wholesale markets, established dining, and the Deira waterfront corniche. Downtown Dubai lies roughly 20 kilometres south, Dubai International Airport somewhat closer. The Islands' coastal position means direct beach access will form part of daily life once the surrounding infrastructure matures.

# Who this project suits, and at what stage of the market

Flora Bay Residences addresses a specific type of international buyer: someone prepared to commit off-plan in an emerging district, at a price point that sits below the headline luxury tier but above the city's volume market. The AED 1.94 million entry for a furnished one-bedroom apartment on a coastline development is a considered number. The furnished delivery removes a practical barrier for buyers based in London, Geneva, or Singapore who cannot manage a fit-out remotely.

The boutique scale may appeal to buyers who have looked at the larger island master-plans and found them impersonal. Forty-two units produces a building where ownership has some character. The counterpoint is liquidity: a small building in a district that is still establishing itself carries more uncertainty than an established address. That trade-off, between early positioning and proven demand, is the central calculation Flora Bay asks buyers to make.
